"I recently had an investment analysis assignment where I chose to analyse aluminium as a commodity and I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the "Global Aluminium Industry Outlook 2025" from Alcircle. The diversified demand outlook in terms of end product and the concentration of bauxite supply in Guinea were key factors in the report that contributed to me achieving the top assignment mark of 95%. Another key insight was the growing disconnect between alumina and aluminium prices, which bodes well for the future aluminium price as smelter margins are squeezed. Overall, I was grateful to find this report and highly recommend it to others." Luke Phillips, Finance Honours Student at the University of Western Australia
Methodology
Our study on the Aluminium Outlook 2025 will adopt a comprehensive, structured approach to analyse key aspects of the industry.
